With its first performance in 2014, in conjunction with the PGVIM International Symposium, AYE or The ASEAN Youth Ensemble, a partnership project between the Ministry of Culture, Thailand and the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music.  Throughout the years, we have explored many possibilities in working between local and western art music, from the arrangement of local tunes to the new commissions for young composers in the region and beyond, with the aim to find new ways of combining our respective musical traditions. 

Since 2017, we have started our collaboration with the Studio Musikfabrik under the baton of Peter Veale and the tutelage of Professor Dieter Mack. We have seen many young composers working for new possibilities in exploring the sound of S.E.A with performers of different cultures. With more than 30 new commissions and many young participants from the region, AYE still hopes to extend possibilities, cross borders, and bring traditions towards the new era.
